Become a Buyer

If you’re a lover of whisky, you’ve come to the right spot.

Here are the quick steps to take:

1. You register as a Member on our site
2. You will be required to add a credit card when you sign-up
3. Upon winning an auctioned bottle, your stored credit card will be charged automatically the hammer price plus 10% buyer’s premium.
4. You will also be sent an email with a payment link for the shipping and insurance.
5. You must make payment within five business days, otherwise the bottle is offered the bidder who placed second;
6. We ship your bottle to you via Express Post, the business day after payment is confirmed by the Seller.

If you have the winning bid on a bottle, here are the fees we charge you on top of the price you successfully bid with:

• 10% commission, of the final bid price;
• 2.5% insurance during shipping; and
• $25 shipping and handling fee.

If you fail to make payment on your winning bid within five business days, we charge a 3% fee.

Bidding In Auctions

You can follow any auction bottle without placing a bid, by using the Watchlist feature (only available to registered users). You will receive an email notification when the auction is in the last hour, to allow you to make a bid.

Bidding Increments

The increments are based on the reseve of the item or the current highest bid (which ever is more):

• Up to $100: increments are $5
• $101 to $250: increments are $10
• $251 to $500: increments are $15
• $501 to $1,000: increments are $20
• $1,001 to $2,000: increments are $50
• $2,001 to $5,000: increments are $100
• $5,001 to $10,000: increments are $200
• $10,001 to $50,000: increments are $500
• $50,000 upwards: increments are $1,000

To prevent sniping, auctions are extended by a further 20 minutes if a bid is placed 10 minutes before an auction ends.

We have disable auto bidding for the next auction, so whatever you bid, will be displayed.
